How many weeks to lose about 30 pound?

[CHfan4ever]

Im at 210 i wanna get to 180, and even after if its possible to mvoe to 165.Im 5'9.

Let say by keeping a very ehalty diet and exercising on Elliptical Machine about 3x a weeks for 30 minutes/1 hour.

So how many weeks it can take to lose that much?

you can trim the fat by CONSOLIDATING all your weight loss/exercise threads.

 

[Wonderful Pork]

at the optimal rate of 2lbs/wk, 15 weeks.

dont do elliptical! just run outside! and start by stop sitting in front of the computer. jk
but seriously, using machines to run will trick you into losing more weight, but running actually work better for your body.

lost 20lb in month just running 2miles in the morning in one month. and i didnt even run everyday.

hell i sweat a ton and gained a few pounds, i believe it has to do with the fact that i would drink gallon of water or so a day.

and when you get out of starvation mode you get all that weight back. in the future please refrain from giving idiotic advice.

Run. A lot.

it is FAR healthier to lose consistently 1-2 lbs per week than on a "crash" diet . . . keep your food intake the same - but cut out ALL JUNK calories [sodas, hi-fat/calorie snack foods] and exercise even more - six days a week

good luck

i've stavred myself and not gained the weight back. I used to be 175 or so, dropped to 140 (in 2 months), took 6 months to get back up to 160.

no i was not anorexic, and yes i did want to eat. I just couldn't.

 

[mchammer187]

i believe the guy that only ate apples for a week sometime last year lost like 6 lbs in 5 days

you can probably expand it to only fruit or only veggies

Play dance dance revolution as much as possible. Its fun, not as tiring as normal exercise, yet still burns fat just as fast

Oh, and eat right.

I lost 15 pounds VERY quickly.

 

[jaedaliu]

2 pounds a week is a good rate.

Eat "better" foods. no white rice, no white bread, no normal pasta. Any starches you eat should be whole grain starches. This means no potatoes either.

Cut back on red meat. You can have all the beef you want, just no fat in the beef. It's easier if you stick with chicken (don't have dark meat, the thighs are very fatty) and fish.

Eat more fruits and vegetables. 9 servings a day, it'll make you feel fuller, and you'll be getting lots of vitamins and stuff.

ok, that's the easy part. the hard part is exercising at least 30 minutes a day. I'd recommend doing a little bit of strength training if possible. Building your lean body mass will help you burn more calories when you're not working out. The heart rate values that your eliptical tells you are silly. Go ahead and raise your heart rate above the "fat burning zone" you'll be burning a lower percentage of fat, but more fat overall.

Find someone to work out with, someone that will work out hard and make you want to work out hard too.

Love that game... But I want to play max period at an arcade, instead of playing it in my house.

i lost 50 lbs in 2 months by eating spinach and some sort of meat/chicken/fish. I tried to gain it back but it took over a year to gain back 20.
